Help with undersink studor vent
I am in the process of redoing my basement, and we've added a shower down there, but in this process, and due to the way my basement is set up, I was unable to tap into the roof vent for my drainage, so I set it up planning to use a studor type vent. Well, the bathroom is done, and upon installing the sink, it drains very slowly, even with the studor vent. I believe the problem is that the vent is below the sink drain because we got one a vanity with the sink that sits on top of the vanity. The studor vent is about 10 inches above the trap under the sink, but like I said, the studor vent is about 4 inches below the drain. If I unscrew the studor vent completely, it drains fine. Any suggestions? It's an odd situation because of my basement setup. Couldn't put it in the wall because I only have 1x4" studs on the wall due to the way everything was in there before we bought the house. Any suggestions?

I recently got a new roof (flat) after Hurricane Wilma. My bathroom vent pipe had blown out through the roof and the roofers stupidly tarred over the drain. Not wanting to open up the roof, the contracted plumber said that a studor vent could be used instead of opening up the hole on the roof. Even...
